Gather

I visited Gather on a Thursday, and it wasn’t too crowded. My party was seated right away, which was great. We ordered a few drinks, and I got the green chili burger. Everything was top-notch! While the drink I ordered was a little sweeter than I prefer, it was still tasty. The burger and fries were absolutely delicious and hit the spot. Gather is a fantastic hangout with good vibes, great music, and excellent food and drinks. I’ll definitely be coming back!

We love the simplicity of this restaurant. We come here for happy hour often. The cocktails menu is tasty. We have had ribs and Mac n cheese recently and we’re obsessed! Come check this upscale bar out!

Gather – An Unforgettable Night of Amazing Food, Cocktails, and Fun! Gather is hands-down one of the best bar and restaurant experiences we’ve had! From the moment we walked in, the energy was lively yet welcoming, with incredible live music that set the perfect tone for the night. The surf and turf was an absolute showstopper. Cooking our meal on a hot rock at the table made for such a fun, interactive experience, and the quality of the ingredients was top-notch—perfectly tender and bursting with flavor. The cocktails were just as impressive, crafted with care and absolutely delicious. But the real cherry on top? We did chambongs, which took the night to a whole new level of fun! Nothing like a little bubbly to keep the good vibes going. If you’re looking for a place with phenomenal food, fantastic drinks, and an unforgettable atmosphere, Gather is the place to be. We’ll definitely be back for another round!

I cannot recommend Gather enough! After our rehearsal dinner venue canceled just 3 days before (thru no fault of their own) Dustin and his crew gifted us the most authentic, romantic and delicious rehearsal dinner that we could've ever dreamed of. The staff was so accommodating, and the food was delicious! We had an insanely good family-style meal punctuated with fantastic cocktails and an intimate setting for speeches from our loved ones. Our guests were blown away by the service and atmosphere! Dustin and Gather made the night before our wedding a dream come true (and he did it with less than 3 days to spare!) I cannot thank him and his staff enough. If you're looking for a great meal, delicious cocktail and amazing service...look no further.

Amazing, unique cocktails... even those that sound strange on paper (eg Sunday Morning Cartoons) are fantastic! The creator is a genius mixologist! Great DJ too and overall vibe. Highly recommend

Wow. We weren’t sure what to expect based on the photos. The menu sounded good but slightly pricey, so with the photos and that combined we were hesitant. I am not kidding when I tell you this was some of the best service, best drinks, and best food I have had in a very long time, if ever. The duck fat fingerling potatoes were buttery, salty, and rich. Just perfection. Very slightly crisped on the outside and smooth and creamy on the inside. The house made garlic aioli was the best I have ever tasted. The frog legs were very good and very well presented. I had never had frog before, so nothing to compare them to, and I have to say I had a bit of a mental block since I love frogs a lot. But I wanted to try them and I’m glad I did, they were delicious! The sauce and blue cheese complimented them well. Lastly, the bone marrow. I love bone marrow and always eat the end of my chicken bones to get to the marrow. My dad used to buy marrow bones. I’ve wanted to try it from a restaurant for a really long time, but nobody ever wanted to try it with me. Finally I got to have it and it was 10x better than I ever could have imagined. It really brought me back to when my dad used to make it for me. A huge nostalgic boost, and to help alleviate how much I miss my dad since he passed away a little over a year ago. My compliments to the chef, my sincere thanks to the servers who were wonderful and welcoming. Loved this place, would recommend it to anyone and would 100% come back.

The staff was very polite and the atmosphere was inviting. I was admittedly intimidated by the menu due to the high end ingredients and offerings that aren't seen in most places in the area. Still I wa happy with my selections. The cocktails were complex and delicious.

A Hidden Gem indeed! Recently opened Gather at Nob Hill wowed me on my first visit. After chatting with co-owner Dustin and sampling a couple of his preferred wines (don't miss the Vinho Verde), I settled on a proper Negroni that was lighter than expected: I think it was owing to the gin that was used (which has now sadly escaped my memory). I started with the Baked Potato, which had me slightly confused as it is described as a confit - didn't get a chance to ask Chef Joe about that before I left (update: my fault on being confused about this preparation - Googled it for clarification) . However, the tender, creamy cylinders of Yukon Gold were cored out to allow the sharp and tangy Cheddar Foam to bathe all its surfaces - Molecular Gastronomy without all the fussiness and pretension. Next came the Chicken Croquettes: a mini Mountain of perfectly crispy spheres, with a snowy cap of finally microplaned parmesan, that yielded a creamy, spicy center full of shredded chicken. Just yummy. For dessert, I recommend you use your fingers to enjoy the Matcha Cake, as it is a tactile playground: spongy air cake, crunchy almond brittle, silken lemon curd, and somehow crispy white chocolate morsels. I'm not great with the descriptors of ambience, but I can tell you that I was comfortable eating alone at the bar and the staff was personable, professional, and knowledgeable . . . On a variety of subjects including those outside the restaurant venue - thanks for the helpful tips, Kelsi ! I've already decided on the lineup of small plates that I'll try at my next visit, and it will be sooner than later.

Absolutely LOVE Gather!! A hometown favorite! Tasty cocktails. They have incredible themed events (specifically their Taylor Swift event)! They had on theme drinks, friendship bracelets making, photo booths, dance space, Polaroids, party favors and such amazing vibes! The owner is so friendly and welcoming! Next time I visit ABQ, this is on my list.

A very poor experience. I visited Gather once again for a cocktail, before meeting my dinner guests nearby at Mesa. Provisions. A poor experience at Gather with service and cocktail preparation while being served at the bar. Virtually empty bar & restaurant, 20 min wait and an undrinkable $17.85 house martini. No thanks. Reached out to the co-owner to share feedback - waste of effort on my part, no follow up. I don't think I'll return, unless their capable bartender is working (I think her name is Kelsi).

Food was good and service was amazing! Recommend! Initially went to the connected restaurant but it was shut down early and we were redirected to Gather. Didn't really see anything we were interested in eating so owner said we could order off the restaurant menu. Only criticism is I would have liked to use a physical menu instead of scanning the code.

The food and cocktails are wonderful, but the service is extremely slow. It's impossible to have food and drink at the same time.

What a joke. Treated horribly by the owner and asked to leave for asking a question. Complete asshole. Will not return and will not recommend. Follow up to the response; We were a party of 9. Mature adults, not rambunctious 20 year olds. We were dressed up for a 40th bday. We had only been in the bar about 45 minutes when another couple showed up but were not allowed in. The bar had 3 booths open and half the long table. It was NOT crowded. I went out to the lobby and asked to speak to who had blocked them. I was trying to be nice, to try to shmooze and butter up whomever I needed to to get them in. So I simply asked why our friends (dressed well for a night out) couldn't come in. The man (who introduced himself as 'the owner' said, "Because I'm the owner and I said so. If you don't like it you can leave." I was dumbfounded and immediately felt like maybe I had come off too strong, so I reeled it in and softened my approach even more. But it was to no avail. This guy is not a people person and has no business working in customer service. I pity the people who work for him. Epilogue: We decided to kick ourselves out. We walked down the street to a speakeasy, who couldn't get us in but was super nice about it, shook my hand and told me to call him next tome and he would get us in. The next place was perfect. The waitstaff, the owner all were a pleasure to talk with and we felt welcomed and taken care of.

The small plates and taps were simply delicious. Out server was very knowledgeable about the menu items and asked smart questions to surprise us with exquisite cocktails. Absolutely a pleasant experience. I will come back.

I love this new "face" of the old NHBG. One side is cocktails and appetizers and the other, (social house) is fine dining. We went on a Wednesday night, where if you purchase a charcuterie board, you get a bottle of wine for half price! All of the cheeses and meats were lovely and paired well with our wine. Server was knowledgeable about both and very friendly and attentive. They've started doing speciality dinners, so follow their social for schedules. We just attended a champagne and fried chicken dinner (4 courses) that was absolutely heaven. Every sparkling was just perfect and the food more than met my expectations. This may be one of my new go-to places.

We were excited to try Gather, and the tapas did not disappoint! We tasted the snow pea and corn tapas - delicious! For a more filling option, we chose the charcuterie board, and it was terrific. The service was excellent, and they checked back regularly to see about drink refills and more crostini (hot from the oven = manna from Heaven). The space is very chill and relaxing. I can see many future days here.

In the absence of my beloved Zinc, it's nice to have a stand by in Nob Hill for when we're feeling a little fancy. The ambience in this place is nice, and the food and drink too. It's definitely a serviceable replacement for its predecessor, the Nob Hill Bar and Grill. I had the Catch of the Day for $29. It was salmon, cooked to a nice medium rare, with a crisp to the outside and juicy inside. It was served over a bed of delicately shaved zucchini in some sort of pesto-esque sauce. Husband had the $21 hot beef sandwich, which was disappointingly light on the advertised horseradish, but the beef was pleasingly flavorful, he said. We had a starter of bread and butter than was too lackluster to merit the $6 price tag, but a very reasonably priced coffee and chocolate cake for dessert (it came nestled beside a yummy dollop of pudding). It was rich enough that I couldn't even finish my share of it! The cocktails were... eh. My Pimm's Cup tasted like a lime squeeze, with little other defining flavor. Next time I'll try the sangria.... Always looking for a tasty sangria! Husband got the Gin Rickey, which he neither complained nor raves about. All in all, it didn't quite hit the Zinc standard, alas. (Gawd, I miss Zinc!) But I'd say it fared well enough as its own Little neighborhood spot to get a little more sophistication from your dinner date than fish n chips. I hope this place succeeds, as Nob Hill is getting disconcertingly bad at sustaining long-term businesses! I think it could benefit from one or two stellar menu superstars. Then again, maybe it has them and I just haven't discovered them yet.

Visited Gather on the 22nd of June for an early dinner. We are from out of town but visit ABQ frequently for business. There are plenty to good restaurants in ABQ, but not many great ones! Gather is GREAT!! Chef Joe is extremely creative both in his presentation of his dishes as well as the flavors he creates. It's small plate style so even two people can try many things. And you'll want to here! There's some New American, Mexican and Japanese influences in his dishes. They're all fused together very nicely. We often like to allow our server to order if we feel they can do it. Our server was awesome and it was clear she could deliver. She recommended the following: - Crudite & Dip - We thought "vegetables & dip"? But this was not your mom's vege tray for the family potluck! All I can say is see the photo! Just amazing! - Hamachos (Hamachi Nachos) - Yes you heard that right, yellow tail sashimi nachos! Tough to describe, but again, see the pic. Also amazing! - Pork Belly skewers - some of the best pork belly I've had! Moist & flavorful, but not too fatty. Very good with the puree underneath it. I think it was eggplant? See pic. - Beef Tataki - perfectly cooked tenderloin, moist and very flavorful as well! See pic. - The Baked Potato - Was too excited so forgot to take a pic. But it's not your normal baked potato. Kind of cross between a large tater tot meets a twice baked potato. Again, so good and creative!! - Lemon Thyme Olive Oil cake - Simple and delicious. A great finale to a terrific meal. The owners stopped by to say hello to us, and all of the other patrons at some point in the evening. A cool touch. They're very personable, welcoming and hospitable. We'll be back every time we're in ABQ!!

We've been waiting for this place to open since we first saw the sign a while back. I was very excited to try it after going to 3128 Social House next door. We walked in and were told it was open seating and went to a table that hadn't been bussed yet, so the server cleaned it off for us. We sat down and she immediately asked us what we wanted for drinks but we hadn't even looked at the menu yet so we asked for a few minutes. Those minutes turned into about 15 and people who came in after us were helped and given drinks before we were. Finally one of the other servers came over and took our drink orders. He was very kind. After that we were asked about drinks by another server, still never seeing the first person who helped us. The drinks took a hot minute to come out but they were delicious! I started with the Lavender Bee Tea and it was so unique and refreshing. My next drink was the Bees Knees and it was so tasty. They have something called a buzz button that makes your mouth numb and it was such a unique experience. The original server came back and explained it to us and they became very friendly and open (completely different from when we first arrived). For food we ordered the chicken croquettes (heaven in a ball) and a 7 piece charcuterie board with the servers choice of meats and cheeses. The board was super tasty. We weren't originally satisfied with the service so we went next door to 3128 social house. The owner came over after seeing a previous Yelp review about our experience at Gather and made the moment right. The service is impeccable, the food is amazing, and we will continue to be patrons at this amazing concept in Nob Hill. It's a great place to have a night out with friends and enjoy some tasty drinks and great

I was sad to hear that Nob Hill bar and grill would not reopen. I then heard two new establishments would be taking over and was excited to try them. I didn't realize they didn't open until 4pm and since I was starving we ate across the street while we waited for them to open. My husband and I enjoyed a couple of drinks. The service was great and so were the drinks. I can't wait to come back and try their menu.

Not really a fan of this place. The food was good but it was too expensive and everything had to be ordered separate in order to get a complete meal and feel full. Won't be back.

First time here and WOW! Delicious plates and yummy cocktails. We had beef cheeks and tataki both were slam dunks. Bartenders were nice and interacted with us. The atmosphere is cool and inviting! Highly recommend!!

Food was really good enough to satisfy appetite. We enjoyed the ambiance not crowded for early evening. The drinks were well made.

Well, just another stellar evening at Gather Nob HIll. This time we pulled together a charcuterie board for "half-price wine Wednesdays" and paired it with Octave Vinho Verde - a perfectly drinkable summer wine from Portugal with just a hint of effervescence on the tongue, recommended by co-owner Dustin. We also enjoyed the unctuous Beef Cheeks served in a beautiful Yorkshire Pudding just dripping with a zesty horseradish sauce. And of course, the Chicken Croquettes - I doubt I'll ever put my butt in one of their chairs without ordering a plate of those. I'll let other reviewers go on and on about the decor and ambiance... the food is my passion, and clearly theirs as well. Nota bene: 3128 Social House next door is now open. Whereas Gather is more of a bar scene with tapas, the Social House has a fine-dining feel with full dinners plus their own bar and signature cocktails. Now you have a choice, and you can't go wrong on either side.

Such a good spot! Food was amazing, service was great! Our server went over the menu with us and gave great recommendations. We loved everything. Loved the cheese board but my favorite was the chambong. Drinks were really good and the vibe was great.

Gather is a creative and awesome spot in Nob Hill. The food is so good, and the service here is always welcoming and a good experience.

Stopped by at 3128 Social House for dinner last night, and they did not miss. I ordered a Pineapple Express, a good mix between strong and sweet. We ordered onion rings as an appetizer, and believe me when I say they are amazing. They are tempura fried, the sauce with them is probably one of the best sauces I've had. I got a burger and fries, which although it may appear simple is flavorful with every bite, they let you customize and add avocado, over easy eggs, or jalapeño to it - it also comes with a garlic aioli that is great. We had great service, our glasses were never empty, and they checked in with us at every step of our meal. Definitely recommend if you're in the nob hill area, and check out their rotating menus.

I felt my last review was a bit salty (oof sorry) and after getting a DM from the owner I felt the need to update my review. The owner made it very clear the staff (particularly the chef) is superb and I believe him! The apps/desserts that I've had were tasty, but it's those drinks and great atmosphere that bring me back every time for sure! IMO one of the best places in the area to grab a drink :) their limited holiday menu was not for me, but that's ok (like I said their normal menu is very solid can't go wrong). I recommend this place for sure!

This place is amazing! The service is unbelievable! The drinks are incredible and innovative. The owners are the real deal and some of the kindest people that make you feel welcome! The food is amazing.

Had such a great time. There were 9 of us and they were very accommodating. Drinks were great, food was next level (mac n cheese). Timmy and Dustin were amazing. Chill and fun ambiance.

Went for some drinks with my husband. It was great! Great service and the holiday drink I got was fun! Would definitely come back

Great place for mocktails if someone doesn't want alcohol. Friendly staff/bartenders with good skill at making great craft cocktails too. 3128 Social House next door has an insane menu with excellent chefs.

We loved this place, the server/bartender was so warm and welcoming, very knowledgeable, they have yummy appetizers and awesome cocktails. Very clean with a chill cute vibe inside

I have been waiting for this lovely place to open in Nob Hill and when I was searching for a spot open late with drinks and small food items this was the first option. Walking in the place it feels very New York style and elegant. The bartender was very nice and gave us a few recommendations as far as cocktails go. I went with a wine, it's very rare you can find places that serve Malbecs and when I tasted this wine it was spectacular. The thing I loved the most about this place was that they had different options then just basic beers, wines etc. The food menu was also very interesting lots of options for different flavor pallets. We ended up ordering a charcuterie board that you could pick your own items which I thought was awesome. Everything from the toasted bread to the different variety of cheese was outstanding. I think we need more places like this that are open later for a late night cocktail and some small bites. I am giving 5 stars because it exceeded my expectations!

Love this bar! Drinks are amazing and the bartenders are fantastic. Has a Great ambience with very comfortable seating.

Great atmosphere and food! Jackie is the best! The food has taken a step forward to fine dining from the prior Nob Hill Grille days.

Checked out this place on a Wednesday after work with my husband and a friend. We really enjoyed the charcuterie board, discounted wine, and some other tapas. We will definitely visit again.

Drinks are super approachable and fun, especially if you like fun cocktails! the food specials were seriously outstanding- coming from someone in the industry 7+ years this place is stellar. Clean, classy, reasonably priced, loved our server Christian and I don't have a single complaint. Love love love this place

I was there last week, second time there. I love this place inside. The service was great, and so were the drinks, but I thought there were too many things in the new menu that are fried. My stomach felt a little upset after eating three fried items. The pannacotta was terribly bland! I was disappointed.

First time coming to Gather. The food was excellent. I went for dinner with a friend from work. We ordered several dishes and shared. We had the pimento cheese dip. It came with fresh potato chips. Very tasty. We also had the panisse fritters (chick pea fritters). This was my favorite dish. The outside was crispy, the inside was creamy and smooth. They came with fresh burrata and marinated persimmons. We also ordered some miso glazed pork ribs and some lentils. The lentils had a layer of purreed sweet potato and it there were pomegranate seeds sprinkled on top. For dessert, we chose the basil cake. BASIL cake. We chose it because it was the most interesting sounding choice. It was yummy. The thing I liked about all of the dishes was the combination of flavors. We ordered some bread to have with the lentils. That was a little disappointing. 5 thin slices of focaccia. Way over-priced. The only other thing I didn't like was that I called about reservations the night before, and I was told they don't take reservations and that it was a walk-in restaurant. When we tried to sit at the last booth, we were told the table was reserved for someone. If I could give four and a half stars, I would. Definitely better than a 4, but a couple of small things keeping it from a 5. I would definitely come again to try other dishes.

Austin was such a great bartender. He went out of his way to make us feel special! Very cool vibes and quite the glow-up from NH bar and grill. Highly recommend and ask for Austin!

Great cocktails and delicious food meet a modern and welcoming atmosphere. The paper plane cocktail hit all the notes for me as a bourbon drinker. The charcuterie is great to share.

My friends and I have been to Gather a handful of times now and it's slowly becoming one of our favorite spots in town. Whether you're passing through or you live here in Albuquerque, don't sleep on Gather. The food is fantastic, but the drinks, service, and friendly staff are why we come back; specifically for Austin, the most attentive bartender/mixologist any of us have had in NM. If he's not there, we will likely have some amazing appetizers and move on to drinks somewhere else. Gather is a 10/10. Thankful I live nearby. I recommend the spiced chicken if they still have it (basically chicken biscuit bites), my gf and her friends love their ginger lemon drop!

Refused drink service because I wanted to have a drink with dinner and would not serve me with my 14 year old daughter present. I walked out. Only place in Nob Hill with this policy. Physician trying to take his daughter out for dinner after work on a Wednesday night. Parent and child unfriendly establishment.

Gather was one of the few restaurants/bars open last 10 pm. Let me tell you we were not disappointed. I'm so glad I found this on Yelp last minute and the reviews spoke volumes. My friend and I flew into Albuquerque and needed somewhere to grab a bite to eat and get a cocktail/wine. Gather exceeded all my expectations. Start with the service: Our service was impeccable. She hit the nail on everything we were wanting. She listened to us and then suggested food and cocktails that would appease us. Our server succeeded! Food and drinks; It is a tapas spot so don't expect big portions. With that being said the tapas were great! We even got the charcuterie board and each meat and cheese has a story and not just your normal meat and cheese. The cocktails were so tasty and the descriptions explained the cocktail very well. Overall experience was great! Didn't expect this from just coming out of the airport and looking on Yelp to find somewhere that was open at 930 pm (majority of restaurants and bars closed at 8 or 9 pm. Nob Hill was close by to the airport and even though it seemed dead, you can tell the area on the weekend or during the day is cute and lively.

A huge thank you to the staff for making our girls' night one of the most memorable ever! Not only is the food incredible and the drinks mind blowing (shout out to Timmie), but we were so warmly welcomed and the staff not only encouraged our fun, but joined in and made the night even more of a party. What a fabulous experience! I cannot wait to go again!

Here, you will find attentive waitstaff, delicious cocktails, alcoholic AND non-alcoholic, a nice wine list and beautiful surroundings, these are all things that make for a perfect lounge experience; on top of all that, the menu is impressive, and the sound system is excellent. I recommend!

Best place here in town, also props up to the owners of this restaurant and bar and I enjoyed it so far. I recommend this place for everyone and it's amazing.

I wanted to try this place out because it had awesome reviews on yelp. When we were seated we weren't served water until 10 mins later and I would say another 15 until they came back to take our order. Once we placed JUST TWO appetizers and drinks we had to wait an extra 35 minutes for the appetizers to come. The server never checked on us. We got there around 6:30pm & it was about 8pm once we were done with our appetizers and left! If you have all day - this is the place for you!

Austin - great bartender, made me an an 'Shmaltz old fashion' with his own twist. At first it was hard to convince me with the house made bourbon in duck fat! But it was well worth it!

I first came here with my sister and we had a great time! I love Gather's aesthetic, but the best part of the experience was Austin - one of the bartenders. :)) He's so nice and fun to talk to! We ordered a few of the signature cocktails (which were delicious btw!) but we also wanted to try something different so he surprised us with some of his cocktail creations based on what we like :) Definitely an enjoyable time...Oh! And last but not least, the food is delicious too!

Popped in for a drink. Love the vibe. Good looked delicious. Staff was amazing. Excited to go again for food and drinks.

We had a wonderful meal here for our anniversary. There is a varied selection of small and medium plates to share. Everything was delicious! We had the chicken croquettes which were very tasty. We also shared the Braised Beef Cheeks and Yorkshire pudding. I am from Yorkshire and the dish was perfectly prepared! We tried two small potato plates which were also wonderful. A nice selection of wines, draft beers, and plenty of cocktails. Service was friendly and excellent. We will definitely come back.

Went in for the first time tonight. The service was great. My drink was very well made and delicious. And the food ..... glazed pork belly was to die for. I've never had better... I met one of the owners, Dustin. He was very friendly and spent time talking to me. I will be going back regularly. Highly recommend.

I LOVE GATHER!! I haven't been since it opened and I came last Saturday for the first time and I loved it! The bartender Austin suggested a Whiskey sour and it was one of the best I've ever had! I was planning on having one drink and leaving but Austin was so sweet and so fun to be around I didn't want to leave! He brings such a great energy to the bar, Austin is the reason I'll be coming back. I wasn't planning on coming back soon, but after such a great experience I have to! If you come ask for Austin he's the best!! Also the atmosphere in this bar was so nice! The whole staff was great, but ask for Austin he's a great bartender

Such a fun new spot in Albuquerque! Food, drinks and service was great! Highly recommend.

This place had a nice relaxing atmosphere. Food and drinks were amazing. Staff was very friendly.
